Petrograd, Last Night. Colonel Shumsky, in an article in the ‘'Bourse Gazette,” says:— “Viewing the genera] situation in all the theatres of war. it is fair to conclude that our successes on the Austrian front and also the movement in East Prussia are the primary causes of the victories of the Anglo-French troops. The turning point of the great battle of millions was when Russia hurled on the Austrian front every available man, checking the enemy and then assuming the offensive.”
